Peyton Manning

What do you Litizens think about Irsay firing back at Peyton the way he did yesterday?

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-s...anning-calls-peyton-politician-005156830.html

I'd say over 90% of the comments (scroll down to read all 1600 or so) are on Peyton's side.

Like I posted the other night before this link came out, Irsay should be sucking Peyton's dick for making the Indy Colts what they are (were).

Just because Peyton spoke the truth about what it's like now doesn't give this pompous, Twitter-happy and most likely liquor-fueled asshole reason to call Peyton a politician. One week he was goofing with Rob Lowe on Twitter about the fate of Peyton and the next, oh no no, we have to keep the Horseshoe in the family.

Bitch Irsay, PEYTON MANNING IS THE HORSESHOE!

Idiot Irsay's have no clue that without Manning, they aint getting a Superbowl....I look forward to a long way for the Colts
 
Uh huh.

Cause Peyton, ever so thankful that he'll actually be able to play football again, will opt to end his career with a less-than mediocre team rather than take a shot at getting back to the SB with either the Jets or the moneyed Redskins.

There was this QB, on his way out, that decided the Cards and living in Scottsdale was a pretty good deal.

Signed,

Kurt Warner
 
Dan Marino's puttin' the stamp on Peyton coming to Miami.

Oh yeah baby, Peyton and wifey even have a cushy condo down around these parts. As does Reggie Wayne.

Fuck Zona.

Hate to see him in another uniform (even a Fins one, well, okay, that would be titsup) but no matter where he goes, I hope he fucks the Colts and Irsay by 40+ points.

In fact, I now have an even BIGGER reason to support little brother Eli during the SB. Him winning and then greeting Irsay with an, "You called my brother a politician? Go fuck and eat yourself."

Hey, a girl can dream.
 
yay. we finally a replacement for the brett favre conversation. that's awesome.
 
As much as I would hate to see him leave Indy, can y'all imagine him with the 49'ers?

Seriously?

That'd be his and their best bet to be in the Super Bowl this time next year...

...a healthy Peyton Manning with an outstanding defense backing him up is something I wouldn't mind seeing before he retires.

Crabtree would have to go.
 
Cheebs, the 9ers dont want the arrogant fuckwit. Singletary would have made him OC, not that it matters, he's ignored anyone else for years.

9ers need 2 pass catching WR and a young CB.. then a third HB, then a QB on 2.5 mill a year who is a backup. Fetushead will never suffice. But, if he's willing to hold a clipboard at that price sure!
 
The only way Peyton retires is if he cant physically play anymore. He wont hold on like Favre thankfully but no way there isnt a team that wants him and no way he wont want to play

I agree. If he feels he can play he will play. I can't see the Colts forking over 28 million in March, I believe, on the uncertainty of Manning's health when you have the first pick and a talented but unproven QB prospect in Luck. No guarantees Luck will succeed but it isn't very often a team gets the chance to go from a Hall of Famer to one who might have that potential. It's a business and that 28 million will be a tough decision for the Colts. I would like to see him finish as a Colt, myself. It always seems strange watching stars like him finish the end of their careers with another team.......Unless it's my team.....lol
 
So, Peter King of SI, Mark Clayton of ESPN and Manning family friend Gil Brandt are all saying that Peyton's going to retire.

Yesterday I spent some time reading through about 6 lengthy Peyton Manning threads at the Dolphins Fan Forum. Comments such as, "Hell yes, go after him if he's healthy. I want to know what it's like to have a franchise quarterback again before I die" - to - "You'd have to be high to sign this horse - he is on his way to the glue factory."

Over 400 people voted in a 4-option poll and 60% totally want him as QB.

People with medical backgrounds chimed in - just as in the comment sector of this link of yours, IslandMan. Guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm slowly willing to face the sad music.

One sec I read that Shannon Sharpe had the same injury/surgery and retired but that his surgery was in order to preserve his quality of life. Peyton's last surgery was to keep him playing. The next I read that even if Peyt sneezes or coughs the wrong way, he could have a setback. So one big blow could paralyze him for life so it's not worth the risk to play again.

Also, "That no one in their right mind would cut a healthy Peyton Manning even with Andrew Luck coming in unless they knew he was damaged goods."

First off, Irsay is not in his right mind and there is that pesky $28 Million in the air - fuck, I don't know what to think or believe.
 
Also, Pointless, I wouldn't compare this to the Brett Favre drama we've all dealt with in the past. Over and over. And then some.

I'll pull up the post when I stated that I would fuck and eat myself if Peyton ever goes out the same way. This is different in that it's an injury that nobody seems to know the outcome. Not a weeping Favre saying that his little girl sat on his lap and cried, "Daddy, I want you to play again and win another Super Bowl" so that's why he juggled back and forth decisions.

The big difference between Manning's and Favre's situations is - as I read in someone's piece - Manning basically built what the Colts are today in Indy, whereas the Packers had long been established before Favre ever arrived...

...I almost 100% believe Manning has taken his last snap as a Colt and I can see where retirement is growing closer to that percentage.

What sucks is reading so many eulogies when the guy hasn't taken breathed his last, yet...
 
If Manning is healthy he volunteers to cut his salary and play out his career in Indy and takes Luck to school. His endorsements soar and everything's everything and life is life.
